The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Seeing that Matthew agreed, these man-animal monsters did not make things difficult for him. They surrounded him and walked forward.

After the woman got up, she picked up the spear and looked at Matthew with vicious eyes.

Along the way, no one spoke.

When they came to a village, a boy who looked like a normal human ran out of it.

This boy is only twelve or thirteen years old, and his childish look has not faded from his face.

"Sister, you are finally back. Have you picked the silver mushrooms?" The boy ignored the others and ran straight to the woman and asked.

"I picked it." After the boy appeared, a smile appeared on the woman's face immediately, she shook the silver mushroom in her hand and said with a smile.

"Who is this person?" The boy noticed Matthew at this moment and pointed at him and asked.

"This is a thief who was caught by me in the mountains and forests." The woman glanced at Matthew fiercely and said to the boy.

The boy walked in front, and Matthew and the monsters also entered the stockade.

The moment he entered the gate of the village, Matthew felt as if he had passed through an invisible barrier.

He knew that this was the case because of the existence of the magic circle.

From the outside, it looked like an ordinary village, but after walking through, the scene in front of Matthew was completely different from what he had imagined.

The buildings here were not much different from those in Wangxian City where he lived. He even saw some shops with signs.

However, every building is painted with various messy colors.

In addition, wherever he looked, he saw a tall building standing there.

This is not a village, it is clearly a city.

The place where they were standing now was a wide street, and the people coming and going on it were all the same size as Matthew.

When Matthew turned his head, he discovered that the previous monsters with human heads had turned into normal humans at some point.

The one named Xiong Ba was tall and thick, with tufts of black hair on his face.

The monster with the head of a man and the body of a hawk turned into a middle-aged man with a hooked nose.

The same goes for other monsters, and Matthew discovers it too.

Although these monsters have turned into normal humans, there are still some traces of their original bodies in their appearance.

"Let's go, the patriarch is waiting for us inside." The hook-nosed man urged Matthew when he saw that he was standing still.

Now that we are here, it is impossible to escape.

Xiong Ba walked to the front and led Matthew towards the tall building.

Along the way, the humans showed respect after seeing Xiong Ba and his party, stopped and saluted, and then left after they passed by.

Matthew also noticed that pedestrians showed reverence for Xiong Ba and others, but showed enthusiasm for the woman and the boy.

Recalling that the monster with the head of a human and the body of a sheep called the woman a goddess, his status in this village must not be low.

The village was very big. After walking for a while, everyone finally arrived in front of the tall building.

"The patriarch is on the third floor. He asked this fellow Taoist to go up alone." When the people arrived, a young man in his twenties came out and said to everyone.

After saying that, he took Matthew into the building without caring about anyone else.

The moment he entered the building, Matthew felt the fluctuations of the formation again.

After entering, you are faced with a large hall, which is very simple and has no decorations except some seats.

The young man took Matthew to the stairs next to him and started walking up.

The stairs were surprisingly long, and it took hundreds of steps to reach the second floor.

By the time they arrived in front of a room on the third floor, nearly a stick of incense had passed.

"Master Patriarch, the foreign monk has been brought here." The young man gently knocked on the door and said.

"Let him come in." An old voice came from the room.

After hearing this, the young man gently opened the door and motioned for Matthew to enter.

After Matthew stepped into the room, he found that it was very clean, and there was an old man sitting not far in front of him, looking at him.

"Senior." He didn't sense any fluctuations in mana from the old man, but Matthew didn't dare to be reckless. He had seen this happen to Yun Fuzi before.

The old man had a gray beard and looked very old. When he saw Matthew saluting, he raised his hand and waved to Matthew, signaling Matthew to come closer.

"Wukun, what kind of cultivation level does this old man have?" Matthew asked quietly as he walked forward.

"The Great Perfection in the later stage of Nascent Soul." Wu Kun's words made Matthew's heart skip a beat.

He originally thought that this old man could only cultivate alchemy at most, but he did not expect that his cultivation level was so high.

In the later stage of Nascent Soul, Dzogchen, this level of cultivation is considered to be the top existence in the human world.

With this level of cultivation, it is more than enough to deal with a medium-sized sect.

After arriving in front of the old man, Matthew stood there with some restraint.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid. If he knew there was such a powerful guy here, Matthew would never let himself take the risk.

It's too late to regret now, and we can only take one step at a time.

Since the old man ordered those monsters to bring him here, it means that he may still be of some use.

"What do you call me, little friend?" The old man glanced at Matthew and asked.

"The boy's name is Matthew." Matthew replied respectfully.

"I have discovered it since you appeared in the Guyuan Mountains five years ago. I saw that you had not made any other movements. In addition, I was in retreat at that time and ignored you. I originally thought that you would be able to act on your own after a while. I left, but I never thought you would stay for five years." Before Matthew asked anything, the old man took the initiative and said something that shocked Matthew.

Matthew didn't care too much about other things. What he cared about most was whether the old man had discovered Xiao Ding's existence.

In the past five years, Matthew has used Xiaoding frequently.

"Junior came here accidentally, and he was also looking for how to leave here." Matthew suppressed the tension in his heart and replied.

"Guyuan Mountain Range is a forgotten place. The entire mountain range is a natural shielding circle. It is extremely difficult for outsiders to discover this place. At that time, I only saw you falling from the sky. Can you tell me why? How did you get here?" The old man's expression remained calm from beginning to end.

Although it was a question, Matthew knew that he had to answer, and he had to satisfy the other party.

"Junior's matter is a bit complicated. It may take some time to talk about it. Senior, please be patient and listen to it." Matthew said after taking a deep breath.

"The most important thing I don't need is time. Just tell me slowly." The old man waved his hand indifferently and said.

"Shit, there's no shortage of time. This little old man's life span has come to an end, and his body is already filled with death energy. He can only live for twenty or thirty years at most." Matthew was about to speak about his experience, but he heard To Ukun's jeers.
